Styling notes

Suede is all about texture, so keep the pieces underneath simple and matte. A plain tee or fine knit lets the jacket's rich surface stand out.

Protect your suede — brush it gently and keep it dry. A well-cared-for suede jacket only looks better with time, which is part of its charm.
